How'd you do on those FRQs for Lang?I took Psych, Calc AB, Lang, Physics B, and US. I'm pretty confident on all but Lang and Physics.
I think I did well enough. I thought the Synthesis was rather silly (most people who take AP are probably gonna say that college is worth it), and the other two essays weren't very hard either. When I say that I wasn't confident on it, I mean that I'm not confident that I got a 4 or a 5. I'm pretty sure I got at least a 3 on it.How'd you do on those FRQs for Lang?
The Multiple Choice was really annoying for me, but generally in all the practice reading comps we did in class, I was getting like a 77%. That Synthesis was really easy, and I liked the argument, but the rhetorical analysis was a bit troublesome.I think I did well enough.

I found that the Multiple Choice was a little easier than what I had typically done in class (I usually got around 70-80% on the ones in class, though it largely varied depending on the passage). I personally found that the RA wasn't too bad, though it was probably the hardest of the essays.The Multiple Choice was really annoying for me, but generally in all the practice reading comps we did in class, I was getting like a 77%.

i got the nice n clean 5s on all of them. i think my previous analysis stands.ap exams were way easy this year imo (physics b, calc ab, government, language). lang was a bit tough because of the sheer quantity of essay writing, and because it's impossible to objectively assess how well I wrote. seems like most ap exams can be cracked even with a bad teacher. for some more in-depth subjects that require a strong understanding of the concepts (thinking like calculus), just put in a little time a couple times a week throughout the year working on grasping concepts, while a lot of social science classes are easy if you have a good memory for facts and good critical thinking skills. a couple weeks with a prep book and you can memorize most things necessary to get a 4 on APUSH or APUSG, and if you're good at putting things together a 5 isn't far off.
also i don't think anyone gives a shit about the nondisclosure stuff. college confidential literally had a google docs sheet with all the SAT questions / answers edited in from memory a few hours after the test.
There are colleges that give credit for AP Computer Science A? Okay...5s on BC Calc and both Physics C tests. 4s on Chem, CS, Lit, and Art History. I knew where I needed the 5s and devoted almost all studying time into those, but I still could have done better (Lit and CS 4s are ??? but I really don't care as long as I got the credits).
Good to knowDang, it's been...3 years since I have last taken AP exams.
I took 8 AP exams over the course of my high school career, but I think I probably could have taken more if I really wanted to.

For any rising high school juniors that might be viewing this thread, junior year isn't really not as bad as you might think it is.
Dunno, I thought it was pretty awful. I guess it depends on several factors, including which teachers you have, the workload of the courses you take, etc.For any rising high school juniors that might be viewing this thread, junior year isn't really not as bad as you might think it is.
